Moar giant robots!

The clockwork king has Babbage and the Knight. The Malta have their Kronos Titan. The Praetorians have Warwalkers. Why aren't there even more giant robots on the game? Giant robots make everything more awesome!

The Council suck at making giant robots. The Hess TF is a lot of fun, far be it from me to suggest it needs to be updated, but the giant robot doesn't do anything. It would be 1000 times more awesome if we had a giant robot striding across Striga Isles.

The 5th Column suck at making giant robots too. Again, I'd probably be crucified for suggesting that anything about the ITF needs to be changed (other than reducing lag, which I believe they've already done as much as they can in that department). But here you have two more giant robots that do nothing. Boring!

A giant robot attacking downtown Cimemora, that would be something. I'm pretty sure Hercules never had to deal with anything quite like that.

I'm told that some people call Crimson's "World Wide Red" arc "The Malta Task Force". Why isn't there a real Malta task force? Malta and Knives of Artemis, together in a Task Force! Oh sure, some people would complain, but I wanna see it! With new giant robots! Maybe the KoA need their own robot, you know?

Also, the Sky Raiders need their own giant robot – although the new Admiral Buffy (whatever his name is) TF is full of borrowed giant robots. I'm very happy that the Sky Raiders finally have their own task force, of a sort. It is an awesome task force, it gets the Giant Robot seal of approval! But where's the flying fortress? How can they be airship pirates without a flying fortress? (And a giant flying Skyraider robot!)

Why hasn't Nemesis built a giant robot yet? I realize it would be all steampunky, and the Clockwork King seems to have that covered. But Nemesis knows the value of rust removal. His robot would be all shiny and new!

While we're at it, the Circle of Thorns could have a giant 50' tall golem. And the Banished Pantheon could have a 50' tall totem. I mean, the 50' tall zombie is a nice touch… but come on! Wooden robot!

And I'm sure the Freakshow could come up with some sort of weird giant monstrosity too.

But basically: Moar Giant Robots.

That's all.

To be fair, teh Sky Raiders have had their own TF ever since COV was released. (the eponymously named "Raiders of the Skies" SF, where you spend your time doing EXACTLY what a hero would do!)

They get better at it, as evidenced by the destroyed Mega Mechs on the ruined Atlas Park map. The answer is obvious: they need to access a future where they got better at making giant robots and bring that knowledge back to the present.

They sucked at making giant robots when the ITF came out because their resident giant robot maker had defected to the Council. And now he's back with the 5th, and why? Because the 5th have double the giant robots that the Council does. You can't find much fault with Burkholder's priorities there.

The KoA need more mob variety and less *&?!# caltrops.

Yes, Nemesis definitely needs a giant robot.

St. Martial has a lot of Freakshow and no Giant Monster. Just sayin'.

The Sky Raiders have a giant fortress covered in turrets, which my husband has lovingly dubbed "the Death Star." I would like to be able to rename it Fortress Maximus. That is all.

You know what I want to see? A Clockwork King vs. Metronome (in a War Walker body, of course) throwdown. I just see the Clockwork King lifting up the shattered hulk of Metronome's body and going, "Hail to the King."

What can I say? I'm a fan of the King.

But we definitly need more giant robots. And if not robots, giant radioactive ants. To punch. Because this isn't comics without giant radioactive bugs and monkeys. And robots.

Hail to the king baby. Hail to the king.

As the resident RahXephon fanboy I can't help but agree that everything is better with giant robots.*

*Especially really complicated love stories.

And dinosaurs. And robot dinosaurs.

Slightly off-topic but the Hellions also need a giant demon. Maybe a succubus. They seem to like succubi.
Also I can easily see Dr. Vahzilok making a giant Abomination or something using various body parts to make some hideous freak of nature.
And Rularuu needs...something. Not sure what.
And for the Sky Raiders, I'm not really seeing a robot as much as a giant aircraft akin to the Arachnos flier.

Ok. Back on the topic of giant robots.

Rularuu's aspects are already giant. So he's exempt from needing a giant robot. Maybe he can have a bunch of Natterlings combine to form the UltraDimnesionalSuperMegaPowerNatterling though. And since they're scavengers, they can add in bits of crap they found and make what looks suspiciously like a giant robot.
